FAQ

HOW MUCH OF YOUR PRODUCT SALES GO TOWARD YOUR CAUSE?
By buying an authentic and official Keep A Breast item you are directly funding The Keep A Breast Foundation's programs. With the sale of these items, KAB has started a movement that has raised thousands of dollars to increase our activities to educate people and create awareness around the world. Our products are sold through a third party partnership with District Lines and can be found here.
HOW CAN I GET INVOLVED?
Keep A Breast wants to enable activism by young people, and we acknowledge that young people want to play a part of a bigger and better good. We have developed multiple ways to contribute time, influence, ideas and energy to our Mission. These range from adding us to your social network to throwing your own benefit show. To learn more visit our Get Involved page here.
CAN I VOLUNTEER FOR THE ENTIRE SUMMER ON THE VANS WARPED TOUR?
As much as we’d love to have a band of volunteers out all summer, the cost of housing and transportation for those individuals would be too high too. But we're always looking for volunteers for each city when Warped Tour comes around. We usually put a call-out on social and send an email directly to volunteers first. Sign-up here!
MY SCHOOL SAYS I CAN'T SUPPORT YOUR ORGANIZATION BY WEARING YOUR BRACELETS - WHAT DO I DO?
We have seen our I Love Boobies! bracelets questioned or banned at several schools. It has been great to see students, parents, the ACLU and even Federal Court Judges rally behind Keep A Breast and our Mission.
So your school banned the bracelets? What can you do? Well, we can’t give you legal advice, and we can’t guarantee you won’t get in trouble for wearing one, but what we can tell is to respond by respectfully explaining to your school administration what the bracelets represent, and why you support The Keep A Breast Foundation.
I SAW "I LOVE BOOBIES! " MERCHANDISE THAT WASN'T FROM YOU - DOES THE MONEY GO TO KAB?
No. Many have contacted us in the past about products that look like Keep A Breast merchandise, but are sold on street corners and random places, or look a little "off". Unfortunately, proceeds from these counterfeit merchandise do not go to Keep A Breast. The best place to purcahse official Keep A Breast merch is directly from us on our online shop here.
The Keep A Breast Foundation is the registered owner of the trademarks “i love boobies!”. KAB products are sold to raise money for KAB's programs and events, and to support our mission.
WHY DOES KEEP A BREAST MAKE “I LOVE BOOBIES! ” MERCHANDISE INSTEAD OF A PINK RIBBON?
The purpose of Keep A Breast’s "i love boobies!" campaign is to speak to young people in their own voice. We want to reach our target audience in a way that is authentic, inspiring and refreshing, and pink ribbons often do not resonate with, and are not relevant to, the experiences of people under 30. We also focus on prevention, and developed our merchandise to add an upbeat, positive “can do” attitude to prevention dialogue. We work with artists, athletes, celebrities, and musicians that young people look up to, and “i love boobies!” matches their spirit and creativity.
WHY IS KEEP A BREAST NOT A RATED CHARITY ON CHARITY NAVIGATOR?
Keep A Breast is not currently on Charity Navigator because we have not been chosen. They choose what charities they evaluate. Charity Navigator evaluates charities that receive more than $500,000 in public support and more than $1,000,000 in total revenue. Unfortunately Keep A Breast does not meet this criteria. It’s important to note that a lack of a rating does not indicate a positive or negative assessment by Charity Navigator.
WHERE DOES THE MONEY RAISED GO?
Funds raised from donations and official KAB cause merchandise go to support Keep A Breast education and support programs. These unique programs use art, creative expression and grassroots action to inform young people about methods of prevention, early detection, coping and support. Through these programs, The Keep A Breast Foundation strives to inspiring young people to adopt lifestyle choices that have long-term health benefits. To learn more about our work head here.
DOES KEEP A BREAST DONATE TO RESEARCH?
We don’t currently donate to research but we have in the past. In 2010 and 2011, The Keep A Breast Foundation awarded grants to leaders and organizations that were taking a stand to make the world a better, healthier place for future generations through alternative care, environmental effects or cutting edge research. Over $200,000 dollars was donated to research and environmental programs including: The University of California San Diego, California State University -Fresno, Essentially Pink, Bloom Natural Health, The Rack Pack, Teens Turning Green, Environmental Working Group and a unique Green Janitorial Program for schools.
CAN I APPLY FOR A KEEP A BREAST GRANT?
At the moment we are not accepting new applications for a Keep A Breast grant.
HOW CAN I GET CASTED?
If you have been recently diagnosed with breast cancer, we invite you to be casted as part of our Treasured Chest Program. The program offers newly-diagnosed women a unique opportunity to document their body and their feelings at a specific time in their treatment by turning their casted torso into a beautiful piece of art. The Keep A Breast Foundation Breast Casts™ harness the power of art and artistic expression to communicate complex feelings and thoughts about health, the female form and ultimately about breast cancer. Visit Treasured Chest for more info.
If you have not been diagnosed with breast cancer but would like to be casted to support Keep A Breast, you can do so with a $1,000 donation. The donation directly funds 5 casting kits for our Treasured Chest Program. Email info@keep-a-breast.org with “Cast Me” in the Subject Line.
CAN I HAVE MY OWN BREAST CAST EXHIBITION IN MY CITY?
Yes! You can organize a local Breast Cast Exhibition in partnership with Keep A Breast. This is a grassroots fundraising program that offers supporters a chance to organize and create their very own breast cast exhibition from start to finish with the help of a certified KAB casting expert. Proceeds are donated to Keep A Breast. Please email info@keep-a-breast.org with “Breast Cast Exhibition Inquiry” in the subject line.
CAN I PAINT A BREAST CAST?
Yes!
